Wikipedia link (& history)

I suppose no site would be complete without a link to our entry on Wikipedia, which is here.

For those who can't remember the school opened in 1976 in fully demountable buildings in Dudley Street, Gorokan with only a single school year (year seven).

In 1977 the school moved to its permanent site in Goobarabah Avenue Gorokan (now technically Lake Haven) with a limited number of classrooms, but also a Science block, Hall, Industrial Arts rooms, Music Rooms, Special Purpose rooms (eg Art, Tech Drawing), Administration Building and Library.  At this stage it had both Year 7 and Year 8 students.

In 1978 major additions were opened including a few more science laboratories and a lot more classrooms.  The school is modelled on the US collegiate system of design which means there are large numbers of courtyards around which various classrooms are situated.
